What’s involved?
A Really Really Free Market is a 100% free and non-commercial event, organized by participants just like you. Every RRFM is different and depends entirely on those who attend.
It is not necessary to bring something yourself in order to participate however think creatively about whether there is some way that you can contribute.
What you bring to the RRFM is entirely up to your imagination. It could be a useable item like clothes, books, or produce from your garden or it could be a talent or skill that you would like to share. In the past there has been free bike repairs, free food and refreshments, free music performances, free origami workshops, free water wise garden design workshops, not to mention loads of clothes, books, jewellery, artwork, computer hard drives, furniture, cds and so much more.
There's also information available about some of the local community groups that are working hard for a more sustainable and just society.
Browse through the things others have brought and leave with what your family needs, regardless of whether you brought something or not.
Why should people do this?
Because there is enough for everyone.
Because sharing is more fulfilling than owning.
Because no one should have to do without food, shelter, entertainment and community.
Because life should be a picnic, but it only will be if we make it happen!!
